What happened
ChargEV has opened a 180kW DC charger at Awan Besar R&R on the Kesas Expressway, with two CCS2 nozzles, covered bays, RM1.60 per kWh pricing, and a RM0.50 per minute idle fee after 20 minutes. It can be activated via ChargEV, JomCharge, and Gentari Go, and a 20% launch promo with code AWB26 runs until 11pm on 9 October 2026, making it RM1.28 per kWh. Previously, the site had only a single 22kW JomCharge DC charger at Petronas R&R Awan Besar at RM1.50 per kWh with CCS2 and CHAdeMO connectors.
Why it matters
This is consumer EV charging news, not a change to AI/ML, developer tooling, databases, or SaaS. The only concrete decision is for EV drivers on the Kesas route: use AWB26 before the 9 October 2026 11pm deadline to pay RM1.28/kWh instead of RM1.60/kWh, and avoid the RM0.50/minute idle fee after 20 minutes.
Discussion angle
Compare Malaysia's charging economics: a 180kW charger at RM1.60/kWh plus a RM0.50/minute idle fee versus the older 22kW RM1.50/kWh charger, and whether promo codes like AWB26 are a sustainable way to drive utilization.
